Learn the exciting sport of fencing!

Learn the exciting sport of fencing! Often called a physical chess game, fencing develops endurance, coordination, agility, poise, and balance. While fencing is a physical sport, it is also a mental game requiring concentration, quick decision-making, and problem-solving. It’s an ideal activity for people of all ages and sizes.

If you want to participate in a great sport, fencing could be your sport. Give it a try!
